All the West does is project...here we see the "human wave tactics" they accused the Soviets of nearly a century ago...
Given the way colonial soldiers have been used by Britain in WW1? It's always been projection.
"Those dirty Asiatics are breaching Nazi lines left and right? Blunting offensives of glorious western Teutonics?! Dang, they must be using insane amounts of cannon fodder! No way they have sensible strategies and tools to execute them!"
And then they order such operations as at Dieppe and Monte Cassino. Especially the last place is fucking telling everything where white commanders just ordered brown soldiers to attack unscouted heavily fortified positions, and when they ran out of bodies they send the honorary white polish soldiers and when Poles succeeded they were surprised as fuck.
The more things change....
Although that does make me wonder if the deluge of articles decrying how AFU "is switching back to Soviet tactics" is an attempt to disguise who told them to bumrush fortified positions in the first place. Could it be the vaunted NATO instructors? Nah, must be those dang commies!
Yeah. I don't think i have to explain to you the rhetorics that gets the "communists, pink postsocialists, homo sovieticus" etc blamed for every single fault of the postsocialist countries which would be capitalist paradises today if just the unwashed locals were obeying the divine messengers of the west (except it's exactly what they do).
So of course the incoming lose in the war will be blamed by west and local compradors on the insufficient "decommunisation" of Ukraine.
Speaking of nearly a century ago, what the fuck was the Siege of Normandy if not the Allies deploying human waves against a fortified beachhead?
